No doubt P. Leonor has no troubel to hold her G.Mother's hand. She looks comfortable. So, there's no need "to free her". The whole Family looks properly dressed for this summer concert in an informal place, it's not the Royal Theatre.

Apropos yesterday at the market, some pics show that the girls by themselves take Queen Sofia's arm!Sometimes opinions are depending of which pics the blog shows!!http://www.parismatch.com/Royal-Blog/famille-royale-espagnole/Letizia-et-Sofia-deux-reines-d-Espagne-en-visite-surprise-au-marche-1566593

Agree, I have faith in Queen Letizia and King Felipe´s education. They are old enough and their children are as well old enough to understand, that their Grandma is old and no longer as strong as she had to be, maybe or....

Totally agree with Anon 5:15. To me, Leonor does not look comfortable at all! Little Sophia is the happy one for sure, but then Sophia did not try to throw off her grandmother's arm at Easter. Poor Leonor, retribution is not fun.

I can't believe the girls are comfortable either. I noticed that Sophia looks much happier than Leonor. And neither of the girls look at their grandmother adoringly like they do when they look at their parents. They are past the age where they want their hands held all the time. If the former queen is having trouble getting around, then someone needs to take her arm, not hold her hand. That is the way to steady her. She does make solo appearances and seems to do fine, never latching on to random children, so I doubt she is unsteady on her feet. We have, however, seen footage of her grabbing the girls for photo opportunities. Most likely, she is not happy with her position as the former queen. She has never really had a private life and I can only imagine how difficult the adjustment must be for her. But it is time for her to let her son do the job he has been trained to do, with his wife by his side, and she needs to respect the girls' space. I have no doubt they have been brought up to do what is right and I am sure they love her. Unfortunately, she is going to end up pushing them away.

@ Beth. If the kid did something wrong (at Easter) reprimand her, accept her apologies and move on. This prolonged being Granny's limpet has seemed to take the joie the vivre out of her and is certainly not a confidence builder. In the pictures, the mom seems to have been sidelined as a result of this too and does not intervene or hardly touches them. Ay Grandma!....Free Leonor!

Beth, you are exactly right. I, too, would have put the mother-in-law in her place long ago. But Leti is the queen and must try to make things look smooth, even if they may not be so....Free Leonor, please!!

Girls look very pretty, whether in dresses, shorts, or pants now. They have dressed well each time as most girls this age like a variety of styles. The royal blue blouse is a nice color for Queen Sophia, but those pants are rather clown-like. Queen Letizia is gorgeous in black and white, tanned with the white top, wow!Yes....please free Leonor....hope they have some public appearances with just Felipe, Letizia and their daughters (beside the previous photocall). Would really like to just see the four of them together enjoying their vacation.

Ms. Electra the above comment of Anonymous @2:46 PM, is a total shame, I realize that one must be fluent in Spanish to understand how this person made a play on words in order to insult the infanta Sofia.Just by changing a letter in her name:Sofía= Given nameSofea= translates to " so ugly" To insult people is a reflection of unkindness and ignorance, but to insult a child is unacceptable .Not to suggest how you should conduct your forum, but I block nuisance callers on my phone on daily basis. As well as trolls in social media. Some individuals don't belong on a civilized blog.Rant over.Regards.
